Li Youde, who has done all the bad things, is not afraid of the government, is not afraid of ghosts and gods, but he is in awe of the green forest heroes of Taihang Mountain.

Although the government eats people and does not spit out bones, what they eat is usually ordinary people, and they are strong in places like him with horns on his head and teeth in his mouth, and he has always been appeased. Although the ghosts and gods are terrifying, after all, they are ethereal, and there are many people who have heard of them, but few people have seen them. However, the green forest heroes of Taihang Mountain can be seen and touched, and there is never any fear of doing things. If you are not careful, there will be no more Li Jiazhai in this world. And before the thieves took the initiative to withdraw, the local soldiers and horses promised not to even dare to let go of a fart!

However, in front of a bunch of minions, Li Youde can't behave too cowardly tonight. Otherwise, all the village owners and castle owners will dare to love you in the eyes of the Huyan master is a piece of fat that can be cut at any time, and it is better to dissolve it as soon as possible! Anyway, everyone's homes are close to Taihang Mountain, and you can't go around a few miles more to find the big Buddha to incense, so why bother with the land temple of Lijiazhai!

"You go back first, let your second uncle eat and drink well, and entertain you, and when I finish arranging the things at hand, I'll see if there is any extra food in the warehouse!" deliberately raised his voice by a few points, and Li Youde instructed Li Shun, who came to report the news. Whether it is the expression on his face or the movement of waving his hand, it seems that he did not take the green forest heroes who came to "borrow" grain in his eyes.

He has a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, and he can hold up a little confidence by gritting his teeth. And his nephew Li Shun didn't understand the good intentions of his own parents. Frightened, Ji Lingling shuddered, and immediately blurted out the words of pleading, "No, it's not the person in charge of Huyan, it's Meng Er's subordinates, two unfamiliar faces, it's hard to speak!"

"Then let them wait for Lao Tzu!" Li Youde shouted loudly, his gray hair growing at the roots.

There is a very famous saying in the past two years in Lvlindao, I would rather be beaten by Huyan than eat Meng Er's seat. Even if the big boss Hu Yancong moves his fists with you, he may not kill you on the spot. and provoked the second master, Meng Fanrun, but he couldn't predict when he would be in trouble.

So although the words were extremely loud, Li Youde didn't dare to delay for half a minute longer, and casually explained to the castle lords that he would temporarily collect the troops for the time being, and then flew back to his old mansion.

As soon as he saw the face of the guest, Li Youde's mood suddenly became even more worried. He eats both black and white in the local area, and he has seen a lot of influential people in his life. Therefore, a cursory glance at other people's mannerisms and dresses can judge the identity and status of the other party. Today, his art of observing people has completely lost its effect. The two heroes who came down from Taihang Mountain, in terms of how noble and noble their temperament was, but the clothes on their bodies and the shoes under their feet were so ordinary that they could no longer be ordinary, and they were a little shabby for the Li family's stewards.

"The two distinguished guests are here, and the old man has something to do and can't welcome him far away, forgive the sins, forgive the sins!" The more apprehensive he was, the more respectful Li Youde's performance became. As soon as I stepped through the threshold of the lobby, I immediately bowed down and greeted him loudly.

"Hmm!" the older one of the distinguished guests did not even lift his butt, glanced at him, and snorted coldly in a low voice.

Younger guests are more polite. He sat up straight with a smile and waved his hand gently, "Master Li Zhai doesn't have to be polite, your family has a big business, and it is inevitable that there will be more things." Anyway, our brothers and I were just ordered to come to collect food, even if you don't show up, as long as the food is ready for my brother to load and take away, it doesn't matter!"

"This-" Li Youde's old face suddenly seemed to have been slapped back and forth seven or eight times, red and purple. This is not a question of rudeness or disrespect at all, but the other party does not take him Li Youde at all, and treats his Lianzhuang Club as a character. Otherwise, even if the tenant goes to the landlord's house to pay rent, the landlord will give a smiling face and eat a full meal by the way!

However, no matter how angry he was in his heart, Li Youde didn't dare to turn his face with the other party on the spot. His Lianzhuang Club has only had a prototype so far, and without three to five years of running-in training, it is impossible to have the strength to compete with the heroes of Taihang Mountain. On the way back to his mansion, he had already figured out the situation of the visitor, so he was alone and the two brothers rode two tall horses, without any retinue by their side.

In these years, those who dared to cross the state and county without bringing thirty or fifty brothers were either fearless, or they were cornered by the enemy and had to take risks with their heads. And the two distinguished guests here do not look like the latter in any way. What they rely on is undoubtedly the golden signboard of Huyancong. Only the killer star under the command of Hu Yancong dared not care about the thieves from all walks of life along the way and swaggered through the market. If any of the thieves' tricks are not bright enough, dare to hit their ideas. It won't be long before the nest will be uprooted and completely disappear from the rivers and lakes.

"Guangyi, give the green forest order of the big boss to the master of Li Zhai for inspection, so that people don't take our brother as a liar!" lest the scruples in Li Youde's heart were not heavy enough, the older one among the guests suddenly smiled and put a wooden token on the low table beside him.

"Okay!" the young guest agreed, picked up the wooden card, and handed it to Li Youde from afar, "Brother Zhao Yuanlang, junior Zhao Guangyi, on the orders of Meng Er, greet Master Li Zhai!"

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Li Youde ran a few steps forward, took the token with both hands, and half-bowed his body to observe.

The token is made of common jujube wood, which is not precious. The front is engraved with four big characters for the heavenly road, and on the back, a round of rising sun is engraved. It is the token that the general of the northern green forest sent his subordinates out to do business, although Li Youde has seen it a limited number of times, he is extremely impressed.

Don't dare to look at it for too long, causing the other party's bad feelings. After quickly checking the newness of the pulp, he raised the token above his head with both hands, "Li Youde, the owner of Lijiazhai, see the two Zhao commanders." I wish the Huyan family good health, the power of the world, and the early closure of the Maolie land!"

"You're very good at talking!" Hearing Li Youde congratulating Hu Yancong on becoming a prince as soon as possible, the elderly guest Zhao Yuanlang finally had a smile on his face, raised his head and glanced at this person, and praised in a low voice.

"The commander of my family, will he not only tear the soil and seal the grass in the future?" the young "Zhao Guangyi" had a little lofty ambition, stretched out a hand to take the token, and pouted.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, that's nature, that's nature, it's too short to see it below!" Li Youde was slightly stunned at first, and then laughed dryly.

"It's not wrong to eat a lot of rice and bowls!" Zhao Yuanlang suddenly smiled and added, and his words pierced into people's hearts like knives.

"Hmm-!" Several of Li Youde's disciples and juniors were so angry that their eyes turned black, and their hands involuntarily touched the handle of the knife on their waists. It's too bullying, even if you are Hu Yancong's henchman, you can't slap everyone in Lijiazhai in the face again and again. Besides, Hu Yancong is just a big bandit leader, what qualifications do you have to look down on Li Jiazhai?

Li Youde glanced around a few times before his subordinates couldn't control the anger in their hearts. Then he took the initiative to bow his head again, not feeling how domineering Zhao Yuanlang's words just now were. "Commander Zhao is right, in this life, Xiao Lao'er can take refuge under the wings of the Huyan master, and he is already satisfied!"

"Is this your true words?" Zhao Yuanlang put away his smile and gently tapped the short table in front of him with his fingers.

"If half of the sentence is false, the sky will thunder!" Li Youde retreated again and again, and simply obeyed to the end.

"Then what about the grain ...... I said earlier?" Zhao Yuanlang tapped lightly on the low table again, looked up into his eyes, and seemed to be smiling.

"My subordinates weren't at home just now, so I didn't hear Commander Zhao's request. But thanks to the fact that Huyan and Meng Er are in charge, Li Jiazhai will do its best to meet the requirements of the two family members!"

In these years, it is not uncommon for the green forest to become a prince. However, there has been no precedent for the emperor to sit in the world. Therefore, if Hu Yancong has the heart to win the championship, he will never pour cold water. On the contrary, he would rather secretly push it again, and let Hu Yancong take the heroes of the green forest to fight with the officials and soldiers from all walks of life!

The water is mixed, so I can take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. When the world is in chaos, heroes can make a difference. If the situation remains as lukewarm as it is now, Li doesn't know how long he will have to wait before he can soar into the sky.

It's just that although his idea is perfect, the reality is somewhat cruel. Hearing that he agreed so happily, Zhao Yuanlang thought about it for a while, and then immediately reported a series of astonishing figures: "10,000 stone of wheat, 7,000 millet, 5,000 beans of all kinds, within two months, it will be solved to Lao Yaziling." You bear the losses on the road!"

"Ah, this ......?" The faces of the heroes of Li Jiazhai instantly became as pale as snow, and their eyes, large and small, were filled with murderous aura.

In these years, even if the land is irrigated with high-quality water, two stones of wheat per mu are already the sky, and the yield of millet and beans is even more pitiful. The surname Zhao is 22,000 stones, and he said that he can't take out the Lijiazhai warehouse after emptying it, even if all the warehouses under the Lianzhuang Association are swept, it will be difficult to make up so much grain.

"What, do you want to kill my two brothers and kill them, and then pretend to be stupid with Huyan?" Zhao Yuanlang was extremely sensitive to danger, and immediately pressed his hand on the horizontal knife on his waist, and asked with a sneer.

"Zhao Guangyi" next to him didn't even bother to speak, and directly picked up a steel whip with blue light from the ground.

"Commander Zhao, don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand!" Li Youde was so frightened that he immediately opened his arms to protect "Zhao Guangyi", and shouted loudly at the same time, "Wait, Hugh is rude." The big boss of Huyan asked us for food, because he could afford us, and we couldn't help but know what to do!"

The heroes of Lijiazhai did not dare to disobey their own owners, and gritted their teeth and swallowed their anger. Li Youde put down his arm, rubbed his palms on his clothes a few times, and bowed deeply towards "Zhao Guangyi", "The two commanders of Qiqi, 22,000 stone of grain, is really a lot. Xiao Lao'er didn't dare to live up to the trust of Huyanda's boss, but in the village, there was really not so much food. Even if you send someone to buy it immediately, it will definitely not be able to make it up in three or two months. Please also ask the two commanders to be lenient and see if they can reduce their share a little, or let their subordinates get some other supplies to replenish the military rations!"

"Yes, the two Commanders Kaien!"

"The two commanders raise their noble hands, and we will definitely not forget the great kindness in this life!"

"Two ......"

The heroes of Lijiazhai bowed to "Zhao Guangyi" one after another, begging in a cold sweat. Previously, everyone only cared about the surface, and regarded the older and calm Zhao Yuanlang as a big man in Taihang Mountain, until they found out that their own village owner Li Youde had protected another one at a critical moment, and then they noticed the steel whip in the person's hand!

The steel whip is Hu Yancong's famous weapon. He is a true inheritor, even if he is not his biological son, he is also a disciple. If everyone really broke out and hurt him just now, how could Hu Yancong give up?
